Frozen Four Semi Final #1: Wisconsin vs RIT

Re: Frozen Four Semi Final #1: Wisconsin vs RIT

Late arriving crowd because the lines to get in the building took forever to get thru.

This set up is awful. Am sitting 8 rows behind the RIT bench and can't see a thing because the team is standing. Lots of people left to find better seats, that's why it looks so empty.

The better team will adapt, and win the game.

Maybe.

But do you really want the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP decided on a crappy ice sheet?

This arena is a gimmick - nothing more, nothing less. Imagine the outcry if the Final Four was played at an outdoor football stadium.

And by the way, the seats suck. No, I'm not at the game but a colleague of mine forwarded a picture from his seats. His priority is just about as high as you can get, and his seats are terrible.

Just flipped it on and thought,what the heck happened to the ice? Looks like they surfaced it with a lawn mower.

RIT, just happy to be there, Bemidji revisited:(

WI is kinda good, though. RIT is just getting vastly outplayed.

I forget where I read it, but it was mentioned that the risers were going to be a shallow seating.

Some of the better seats may have just been the $40 tickets higher up/further back that were being sold after the NCAA scammed people for their $150.

RIT had a chance to get a shorty, but it was deflected.

40 teams in Division I?

Agreed. The ice sure LOOKS awful. Gwozdecky on TV already expressing his concern over how the ice will be at the end of this game and the beginning of the next just makes you wonder what the point of all this was. :mad:

Like I posted in the Ford Field thread, it's just inexcusable. They did this as a gimmick, but with all the empty seats and tight camera angles, what WAS the point of all this? Any "Casual fan" just tuning in wouldn't even know where it was being played, much less care.

Craig Mitchell?

Have these announcers gotten a Badger name right yet?

Gary doesnt do hockey, because ESPN doesnt carry it. He is too pre-occupied with Baltimore baseball.

Barry, well he got fired from Tampa. That explains that.
